Fort Wetherill is a former Coast Artillery fort that occupied the southern portion of the eastern tip of Conanicut Island, located in Jamestown, Rhode Island. The fort sat atop high granite cliffs, overlooking the entrance to Narragansett Bay. Fort Dumpling, dating from the Revolutionary War, used to occupy a small site within Fort Wetherill, all of which was turned over to the State of Rhode Island after World War II and is now operated as Fort Wetherill State Park, a 51-acre (210,000 m2) reservation. Today, the park is served by an excellent road network, and offers ample parking facilities, public restrooms, and picnic tables.
